RFID is Poised for Change

Overselling

Although some companies that were wrong footed in prioritising UHF RFID for retailing have alleged that UHF will satisfy most RFID needs in future and HF has run out of development potential, this is far from true. To those that allege that HF is limited to one meter range and only then with a tag the size of a credit card, we must point out that DAG System and UPM Raflatac have long offered longer ranges and advances by Cambridge Resonant Technologies, in late 2007, promise a further 50% improvement. To those that say HF systems can only interrogate tens of tags at a time, we point to the global success of Magellan Technologies with Phase Jitter Modulation PJM underwritten by best-in-class-partners. Those tags can even be interrogated when they are touching.
